1. A machine or group of machines for a media environment driven content distribution platform, comprising:
a pre-synchronizer configured to obtain ancillary data and synchronization data and to correlate the ancillary data to times in the synchronization data such that subsequent synchronization of the synchronization data to the content synchronizes the ancillary data, correlated to the times in the synchronization data, to the content, wherein specific objects of the ancillary data are distributed based on event data relating to the media environment; and
a transceiver configured to communicate the synchronization data derived from the content and the ancillary data correlated to the times in the synchronization data to a storage location;
wherein the ancillary data includes a first ancillary data object and a second ancillary data object that are both correlated to a same time in the synchronization data, and the first ancillary data object and not the second ancillary data object is distributed based on the event data relating to the media environment.
